I'm all packed...



Recommended Posts

...and ready for spring. I just packed away all my short-sleeved 3X shirts. Tomorrow I get my 5th adjustment, and I'm ready to plow through the winter and work my ass off -- literally.

By the time spring rolls around, I'll be shopping at Target (max shirt size, 2X, which will be PLENTY big by Spring) instead of Wal-Mart =) (Yes, I'm a big spender. :( )

You go boy !!! LOL

Its really great that you have a goal to work towards. I'll join you. I'm hoping to wear a ladies 1X by spring, depending on the cut, I'm in a 2 - 3x now. And I agree, target or Walmart, especially since we'll be losing MORE by the summer :(

If we take all of the big clothes to a thrift shop before the end of the year we could get a deduction to use at tax time.

I love Target! I have been slowly throwing things out. I will try them on because I want to wear them the next day and realize it is huge on me. I can no longer stand the big ol shirts. I need form fitting. THis is so different because I always had to venture out to get the largest shirt possible for it to be extra big, and now I am flying through those sizes.... I love it, good bye anything I wore last spring. I will need a whole new wardrobe when it gets here!! Keep it up Jonathan.

Way to have a positive attitude Jonathan!

You will probably be down to a size large by Spring with that kind of thinking. Congrats!!

Your positive attitude is half the battle.

Go! Go! Go!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
